Anyone recognize this motor brand?

Hi B. Kane.

Yes. It's a Wavecrest Labs, front hub battery. It's made of 30 D-sized NiMH batteries made by SAFT, America. They only had a capacity of 9Ah and had a bad reputation for having high IR which resulted in heavy sagging voltages under load.

If you had the rear motor and the console that mounted to the bike's handlebar, you could easily resurrect the bike by adding a 3rd party battery and putting a jumper into the console. This bypassed the need for the front hub motor and allows you to use any battery that can provide the needed max C rate.

I've got a lot more information on my blog about my Tidalforce bikes here:
